Horace 9. Blue Of Danvile was elected
school director In the first ward Of that
borough at the recent election, being the
only democrat that was successful. The
Intehigenccr thus speaks of him
Horace G. Blue, the Democratic candi-
date defeated A. Mont Gearhart, the Re-
publican candidate, by two inajority in
ward that usually gives Republican ma
jority of from forty to fifty votes. Mr.
Blue was born in the 1st ward twenty nine
years ago. At the age of sixteen he estab-
lished his present business which has been
constantly increasing, and If he carries
with him into the School Board the same
good judgment that characterized his busi-
ness career, he will make an excellent di-
rector. 1t is evident that the people want
ed him or they would not have elected him.
On Thursday afternoon of last week at
three o'clock, John G. Rutter Jr. and Miss
Hattie McKelvy, Sec md daughter of DIR. j.
B. Nc. Kelvy, were united in marriage at
st. Paul's church. Shortly before thatshour
the invited guests had gathered at the
church, and were seated by the ushers,
Messrs G. W. Funston, Frank Pursel, II.
E. Hartman of blooms burg, and A. M.
Freas of Berwick While waiting for the
arrival of the bridal party Mrs. NJ. A,
Smith played selections from "Zampa" and
"Tancredi' on the organ IN manner that
called forth many expressions of apprccia-
ton OF her skill in handling that instru-
ment.
AT the appointed hour the bridal party
made their appearance and proceeded up
the centre aisle to the strains of the we'd
ding march IN the following order: the
ushers, the bridesmaids, Miss Marion Will
bur of Bethlehem, and Miss Jennie Evans
of Bloomsbury, then the bride and groom.
On reaching the chancel the ushers halted,
and the rest Of the party passed between
them and advanced to the chancel rail,
where they were met by Rev. w. G. Lever
EFT, the rector The bea utiful service was
soon over, and the life contract was pro-
nounced complete The bride was attired
in white satin dress with long train, and
veil Miss Evans wore pink silk dress,
and Miss Wilbur blue satin.
After the ceremony reception was held
at the residence of the brides parenls,
which was attended by the near relatives
of both parties. The display of presents
was very large and unusually handsome.
MIR. and Mrs. Rutter went to New York on
a wedding tour.

revenue and the taking off of revenue
stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no
doubt has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the case
with Green's August Flower and Boschee's
German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen, has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one.tifth
more medicine in the 70 cent size. The

ilized world the French stand
almost unrivaled for deZterity in mystic
arts. The Yankee ranks next Chinese
and Japanese vie with each other for su-
premacy IN the art Of jugglery. But to the
undivided Hindoo must be yielded the
palm for being able to perform the largest
variety Of surprising startling, and most
wonderful feats with a skill that deties de-
lection.
In the East Indies, the principal thor
oughfares Of the leading cities used for
merly be thickly dotted with jugglers, who
piled their vacations On street corners for
the amusement of children and Caucasian
travellers. Tales of their marvellous tricks
were told by mariners who had Witnessed
them while in port; but usually the yarns
were of such an Arabian Nights texture as
to cast doubts on the possibility of such
extraordinary performances taking place,
and, in consequence, were believed to be
fairy stories cOnjured in the fertile brains
of sailors who amused themselves by draw
ing the long bow. In some instances such
may have been the case. Yet it is an every
day occurrence to see a dozen native Jug
glers who, for a few "pice, Will apparently
produce dozens of gOOd-sized hens eggs
from their ears, eyes, nose, mouth, chin,
top of their heads, and ends Of their
elbows. This would simply be a
curious feat if performed on the
stage by a white cOnjurer; but when one
juggler performs this action in broad day
light on the open street, and that ne has
positively no mechanism of any nature to
assist him, and, furthermore, his legerde-
main dress is a few inches of muslin
around his lOins, the feat assumes a mag
nitude that makes it great in comparison
with the sleight- finland of his white
brethren in the same act. His trick is sim
pie, and yet it is impossible to detect his
manner Of deeeiving your eye. That his
| eggs are genuine he demonstrates by break
tators, by whom ne is entirely surrounded.
The HindoO juggler never betrays the
| secret of his modes of deception, save to
his sons. Many tricks are therefore indi-
vidual to particular family. No white
man, no matter how high he may offer,
can induce a HindOo to part with a family
/ secret of this nature.
Heller's magic coffin trick was for many
! years the most insoluble trick practced on

The Man on lie Horse.

1t is a fact that Gen. William II.
Lytle had on when he fell at Chica-
manga a pair of new black kid gloves.
One of the Confederate officers who
knew him we'll and saw him within
few minutes after his death related the
fact to US. We refer to Capt Williams,
son of DR.. Williams, of College Hill
DR.. Williams was very earnest
anti-savery man, but his son had South
ern associations, and joined the Confed-
crate army. Another incident of the
death of Lyle is that he had cigar in
his mouth, one of a handful that had
been given him by Major Bond Of
Rosecran's staff. The gallant Lyle
was in the thick of the storm and knew
it, and handled his brigade with the
greatest intelligence until his death.
He had refused to dismOunt when
struck by four balls-a whole platoon
of AIississippians firing upon "the man
on the horse" who was conspicuous

deadly struggle took place Cincjgl-
